Program Delivery and
Compliance (Title VI)
Agency Compliance Monitoring
USDA (DR 4330-3) requires each Agency to monitor and evaluate their programs,
policies and procedures to ensure that they are administered in a
nondiscriminatory manner.
FAS is committed to ensuring that all qualified individuals and businesses
have equal access to Agency programs and activities. Nondiscrimination in
program delivery is accomplished by:
Civil Rights Impact Analyses of new and revised program initiatives
to avoid potential negative impacts on traditionally underserved groups.
Monitoring & Analysis program participation, awards of grant and
agreements, and participation on advisory committees.
Civil Rights Training
delivered annually to all FAS employees and key partners in the delivery of
FAS programs.
Partner (Recipient) Compliance Monitoring
The Department of Justice (7 CFR 15.5) and USDA (DR
4330-2) requires each Agency to seek the cooperation of recipients in obtaining
compliance with equal opportunity regulations and to provide guidance to help
them comply voluntarily with the regulations.
